As a design museum, Berlin’s Bauhaus institution presents key works from its collection in a building designed by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius; as an international research facility, it researches the history and influence of the Bauhaus. At the same time, the Bauhaus- Archiv has increasingly committed itself to questions related to contemporary architecture and current developments in design. In the years to come, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus’s founding in 2019, the Bauhaus-Archiv will be receiving a new museum building and the existing building will be renovated in keeping with its status as a listed landmark. While construction work is in progress, visitors can experience a multi-faceted programme at the temporary bauhaus-archiv. Long (2597 characters incl. spaces): Berlin’s Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung researches and presents the history and influence of the Bauhaus (1919–1933), the 20th century’s most important school of architecture, design and art. It was founded in Darmstadt in 1960 by the art historian Hans Maria Wingler, with the support of Walter Gropius, the first director of the Bauhaus. Its goal has always been to provide a new home for the material legacy of the Bauhaus, which was scattered around the world in 1933. In 1979, after multiple relocations, it finally moved into the distinctive Berlin building designed by Gropius. The Bauhaus-Archiv has since continued its work as both a research facility and an innovative design museum holding the world’s largest collection related to the Bauhaus. In its permanent exhibition, the Bauhaus-Archiv presents the visionary character of the Bauhaus as an avant-garde design school: it exhibits student works created in classes and in the workshops in the fields of architecture, furniture, ceramics, metalwork, photography, theatre and in the preliminary course as well as works of the renowned teachers Walter Gropius, Johannes Itten, Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, Vassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers, Oskar Schlemmer, László Moholy-Nagy and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The Bauhaus-Archiv’s rich holdings have grown continuously since its foundation – through purchases, but above all, through donations. Walter Gropius’s donation of his extensive private archive on the history of the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau still forms the indispensable core of the collection. Important groups of works by individual artists have entered the collection as bequests, donations or permanent loans – for example, a substantial part of the oeuvre of Georg Muche, the artistic estate of Lothar Schreyer, the painted oeuvre of Bauhaus student Hans Thiemann and the graphic design oeuvre of Herbert Bayer. In addition to historical topics related to the context of the Bauhaus, the Bauhaus-Archiv now devotes increasing attention to questions related to contemporary architecture and current developments in design. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus’s founding in 2019, the Bauhaus-Archiv will be receiving a new museum building. While construction work is in progress during the next few years, visitors are welcomed at the temporary bauhaus-archiv. Experimentation with presentation formats and cooperations as well as events is the main focus of the temporary. page 3 of 8 Press information Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung: Collection and archive The collection of the Bauhaus-Archiv is the world’s largest and most diverse collection related to the Bauhaus, its history and its influence. Supported by and with the approval of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus-Archiv began gathering its Bauhaus collection as early as 1961. It contains works by students and teachers. The holdings of the collection and archive can be grouped according to the main themes of “Collection of Graphic Art”, “Workshop Projects: Product Design and Industrial Design” as well as “Fine-Art Photography”, “Document Collection”, “Photo Archive” and the research library, with its focus on the Bauhaus. While construction work is in progress during the next few years, the library and archive are closed to visitors. The Collection of Graphic Art The collection of graphic art comprises over 12,000 sheets, consisting of drawings, watercolours, other works on paper and prints by Bauhaus masters and students. These include the world’s only complete sequence of all of the cycles and portfolios of prints created by Lyonel Feininger, Vassily Kandinsky, Gerhard Marcks, László Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche and Oskar Schlemmer during the Weimar period as well as each of the “Bauhaus Prints” series. Many artists are represented by examples of their work before or after their Bauhaus period, for example, Vassily Kandinsky through early monochrome woodcuts or Josef Albers and Georg Muche through individual sheets and series from the 1930s to the 1960s. The collection of graphic art also includes works of graphic design, such as posters and other printed matter, advertising designs, typographical designs and also a unique wealth of materials from every area of education at the Bauhaus: from the preliminary course of Johannes Itten, Georg Muche, László Moholy- Nagy and Josef Albers as well as from the courses of Vassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Joost Schmidt, Oskar Schlemmer and Lothar Schreyer. The prehistory of the Bauhaus is documented through drawings by Adolf Hölzel, studies by his student Lily Hildebrandt from his classes at the Stuttgart academy and by numerous works created between 1902 and 1912 by Maria Strakosch-Giesler, a student of Kandinsky in Munich. The Collection of Workshop Projects: Product Design and Industrial Design The focus of the collection of workshop projects on the area of product design and industrial design offers a comprehensive look at product development at the Bauhaus. In addition to designs, realisations of products created at the Bauhaus are present in the form of unique objects, prototypes and examples from their industrial mass production. The extensive holdings of furniture, lamps, metalwork, ceramics and textiles include design classics, such as the well-known furniture of Marcel Breuer, the teapot of Marianne Brandt and the lamp of Wilhelm Wagenfeld. page 4 of 8 The Architectural Collection The architectural collection comprises around 14,000 drafts, accompanied by numerous architectural models. The most prominent piece is the original Bauhaus model of 1930. The core of the architectural collection is formed by 200 works from classes at the Bauhaus. Particularly for the period under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, these holdings cover every area of teaching – from technical instruction to the use of ground plans for training three-dimensional thinking to interior design. The architecture of Walter Gropius is represented comprehensively in the form of documentary

  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

  • Education of Architects: Walter Gropius' Ideas a Century Later
    Volume 21, Number 3, 2019 © WIETE 2019 Global Journal of Engineering Education Education of architects: Walter Gropius’ ideas a century later Grażyna Schneider-Skalska Cracow University of Technology Kraków, Poland ABSTRACT: The education of architects in Poland follows a specific sequence: standards defined by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education concordant with European Union standards; educational outcomes defined by a specific school; module charts formulated by academic teachers. As a result of this sequence a freshly graduating architect becomes equipped with appropriate knowledge, skills and social competencies adapted to contemporary times. At the start of the 20th Century, Walter Gropius formulated a highly specific vision of the role of the architect in society and a model of education associated with this role. He published this in a book, Scope of Total Architecture. The author of this article has confronted the recommendations by Gropius with the reality of educating architects at the Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology (FA-CUT), Kraków, Poland, and the author’s own observations. Highlighted here is a series of timeless requirements in architects’ education, in addition to observing differences associated with time and changing conditions. Keywords: Architectural education, qualities and attributes, Walter Gropius’ educational ideas INTRODUCTION The curriculum for the education of architects in the European Union is regulated to standards that ensure university graduation diplomas are recognised throughout the EU member states. Architecture schools are required to define educational outcomes in accordance with these standards and to develop curricula and syllabuses for individual modules or programmatic blocks. As a result, a freshly graduated architect is equipped with appropriate knowledge, skills and social competencies, tailored to the needs of contemporary times.

  • Shifts in Modernist Architects' Design Thinking
    arts Article Function and Form: Shifts in Modernist Architects’ Design Thinking Atli Magnus Seelow Department of Architecture, Chalmers University of Technology, Sven Hultins Gata 6, 41296 Gothenburg, Sweden; [email protected]; Tel.: +46-72-968-88-85 Academic Editor: Marco Sosa Received: 22 August 2016; Accepted: 3 November 2016; Published: 9 January 2017 Abstract: Since the so-called “type-debate” at the 1914 Werkbund Exhibition in Cologne—on individual versus standardized types—the discussion about turning Function into Form has been an important topic in Architectural Theory. The aim of this article is to trace the historic shifts in the relationship between Function and Form: First, how Functional Thinking was turned into an Art Form; this orginates in the Werkbund concept of artistic refinement of industrial production. Second, how Functional Analysis was applied to design and production processes, focused on certain aspects, such as economic management or floor plan design. Third, how Architectural Function was used as a social or political argument; this is of particular interest during the interwar years. A comparison of theses different aspects of the relationship between Function and Form reveals that it has undergone fundamental shifts—from Art to Science and Politics—that are tied to historic developments. It is interesting to note that this happens in a short period of time in the first half of the 20th Century. Looking at these historic shifts not only sheds new light on the creative process in Modern Architecture, this may also serve as a stepstone towards a new rethinking of Function and Form. Keywords: Modern Architecture; functionalism; form; art; science; politics 1.

  • Dossiê Kandinsky Kandinsky Beyond Painting: New Perspectives
    dossiê kandinsky kandinsky beyond painting: new perspectives Lissa Tyler Renaud Guest Editor DOI: https://doi.org/10.26512/dramaturgias.v0i9.24910 issn: 2525-9105 introduction This Special Issue on Kandinsky is dedicated to exchanges between Theatre and Music, artists and researchers, practitioners and close observers. The Contents were also selected to interest and surprise the general public’s multitudes of Kandinsky aficionados. Since Dr. Marcus Mota’s invitation in 2017, I have been gathering scholarly, professional, and other thoughtful writings, to make of the issue a lively, expansive, and challenging inquiry into Kandinsky’s works, activities, and thinking — especially those beyond painting. “Especially those beyond painting.” Indeed, the conceit of this issue, Kandinsky Beyond Painting, is that there is more than enough of Kandinsky’s life in art for discussion in the fields of Theatre, Poetry, Music, Dance and Architecture, without even broaching the field he is best known for working in. You will find a wide-ranging collection of essays and articles organized under these headings. Over the years, Kandinsky studies have thrived under the care of a tight- knit group of intrepid scholars who publish and confer. But Kandinsky seems to me to be everywhere. In my reading, for example, his name appears unexpectedly in books on a wide range of topics: philosophy, popular science, physics, neuroscience, history, Asian studies, in personal memoirs of people in far-flung places, and more. Then, too, I know more than a few people who are not currently scholars or publishing authors evoking Kandinsky’s name, but who nevertheless have important Further Perspectives, being among the most interesting thinkers on Kandinsky, having dedicated much rumination to the deeper meanings of his life and work.

  • Walter Gropius, “Bauhaus Manifesto and Program” (1919)
    Walter Gropius, “Bauhaus Manifesto and Program” (1919) The ultimate aim of all visual arts is the complete building! To embellish buildings was once the noblest function of the fine arts; they were the indispensable components of great architecture. Today the arts exist in isolation, from which they can be rescued only through the conscious, cooperative effort of all craftsmen. Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as “salon art.” The old schools of art were unable to produce this unity; how could they, since art cannot be taught. They must be merged once more with the workshop. The mere drawing and painting world of the pattern designer and the applied artist must become a world that builds again. When young people who take a joy in artistic creation once more begin their life's work by learning a trade, then the unproductive “artist” will no longer be condemned to deficient artistry, for their skill will now be preserved for the crafts, in which they will be able to achieve excellence. Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts! For art is not a “profession.” There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. In rare moments of inspiration, transcending the consciousness of his will, the grace of heaven may cause his work to blossom into art.

  • Biografie Georg Muche
    Georg Muche Biografie 1895 Georg Muche wird am 8. Mai als Sohn eines Beamten in Querfurt geboren. Er verbringt Kindheit und Jugend in der Rhön. 1913 Studium der Malerei an der Azbé-Schule in München, das er nach einem Jahr aufgibt und nach Berlin geht. Lernt Arbeiten von Wassily Kandisky kennen. Im Spätsommer 1913 besuchte ich in München das Atelier, in dem Kandinsky und Jawlensky vor Jahren Malen gelernt hatten. Ich musste dort in der Art von Wilhelm Leibl Köpfe und Akte mit Glanzlichtern auf der Nasenspitze zeichnen und mein Handwerk gründlich erlernen…So jung am Jahren war ich aufgebrochen und kam doch zu spät. Eine Besucherin der Ausstellung („Der blaue Reiter“) muss das Staunen beobachtet haben, mit dem meine Augen auf den Bildern verweilten. Es war Marianne von Werefkin. Sie machte mich aufmerksam auf Jawlensky und Kandinsky, die im Hintergrund miteinander sprachen...Sie hatten die neue Welt entdeckt! Ich erkannte zugleich, dass ich in abstrakten Gefilden nicht suchen durfte, wenn ich Entdeckungen machen wollte. 1915 Zusammenarbeit mit Herwarth Walden im „Sturm“. Ein Jahr später erste Ausstellung in der „Sturm“-Galerie mit Max Ernst, später weitere Ausstellungen mit Alexander Archipenko und Paul Klee. Muche wird wegen seiner außergewöhnlichen Fähigkeiten Lehrer an der „Sturm“- Kunstschule. Theodor Däubler schilderte jene Bilder in seinen Kritiken: „Die geometrisch unbeweglichen Bilder des jungen Georg Muche erinnern an Maschinen im weißglühenden und rotglühenden Zustand…Nicht Vorgänge unter Menschen beschäftigen seine Einbildungskraft, sondern eine Art übersinnlicher Dimension, ein Wissen um Raumbedingtheiten, damit Eruptionen von Leidenschaften in die Welt hereinbrechen können, oder er steigert den Zufall, dass eine Kugel in einem vom Rahmen eingeschlossenen Raum sich öffnet oder verschließt.

  • Colour, Form, Painting
    MODULE 8 Colour, form, painting SCHOOL, WORKSHOP Age 12–15, 2 Hours, 3 Lessons School, Workshop Age 12–15, 2 hours, 3 lessons Painting, collage Theory of colour, theory of form, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee YOU WILL NEED A4 paper, A3 paper, coloured paper, coloured pencils, watercolours, scissors, glue sticks, colour copies of paintings by Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee INSTRUCTIONS In this module participants learn about the theory of form and colour, and about the painting of the famous artists, Bauhaus masters and pioneers of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. First they examine selected works by the two artists and investigate the effect and expression of colour and form. Then they produce their own interpretations using techniques of painting and collage. Step 1: The group examines paintings by Kandinsky and Klee. Participants describe what they see and what figures they can discover. There are no limits to the imagination here. Step 2: In the next step special attention is paid to colours, lines and basic geometrical forms. Which elements appear? How are they combined with one another? Can the paintings be completely reduced to geometrical forms (circles, triangles, squares and rectangles)? Step 3: Now colour copies of the paintings are distributed and the participants cut out the geometrical forms. They rearrange these to make their own collages, combining elements from different paintings and using coloured pencils and watercolours to create their own figures. Additional geometrical forms can be cut out of coloured paper and included in the collages. Step 4: Finally the pictures are displayed on the wall and viewed by the group.
